So, by your confirmation, Warren Buffet paid a mere 17%, while his secretary paid 30%. Almost twice as much! That was my point! Why should he get more deductions than she did? Why is "only natural for a high earning business owner to pay less"? If he was paying the same 30% that she did, maybe we wouldn't be in the mess we are in right now. You are so brainwashed that you don't even think about what you write!

And if I remember right, pre 2001 was a boom time for the US! Our economy was exploding, the budget was balanced. We have been going downhill since then - proving those tax cuts didn't work! You just confirmed my post. Thank you!
